If a police officer said to you you're under arrest and you knew that you didnt break the law would u resist, or would u say ok and go along with it?

Depends on the situation, but if I think there is likelihood that I could get the charges dismissed or if I didn't think I could resist and get away I would comply.

In the Soviet Union, the "later" is when you are dead from exhaustion, torture, and/or exposure to the elements within a year.

Like 187SKS said, it depends.

I'm 6'4. I think I can take three of them for a few minutes before they break out the tazer.

If you are walking down the street and they tazer you in the neck from behind, you're taken.

I watched a cop spray a dude all the way to the ground. Then... he shook the can and kept spraying. I lawled, then started coughing, cause that stuff was all up in the atmosphere.
